OUR PROCESS

At Slate, every engagement begins with clarity.

We don’t dive in blind—and we don’t expect you to either. Before we build anything, we make sure we’re solving the right problem, for the right market, in the right way. That starts with two tools designed to give you answers fast—and confidence even faster.

Step 1: The Scaling Roadmap (Free)

A diagnostic built to surface your business’s biggest constraints—and its biggest opportunities.

You’ll walk away with:

• A clear map of your current go-to-market maturity

• Tailored insight into where traction is leaking

• A strategic outline that’s yours to use

It’s free, fast, and designed to deliver value upfront.

Step 2: Go-To-Market Accelerator ($2,500)

We guarantee three meetings with qualified decision-makers—and deliver a light-touch assessment of your current growth setup.

What you get:

• Real-world validation from conversations with decision-makers

• Sharp insights on what’s resonating (and what isn’t)

• A foundation for custom-fit execution in our full engagement

This stage lets us test messaging, validate market assumptions, and align expectations—before you commit to anything big.

 Full Engagement ($5,000/month)

Once we’ve validated your position and market signals, we shift into execution. Every client moves through the same four-phase path — customized to context, but always guided by the same principles: clarity, focus, and momentum.

This is how we move from insight to traction — systematically.

Anchor (Weeks 1–3)

We start by clarifying your business model, mapping constraints, and establishing a true baseline for growth. This isn’t about brainstorming—it’s about surfacing what’s working, what’s stalled, and why.

At this stage, we:

• Run structured internal interviews and stakeholder mapping

• Conduct light competitive and positioning audits

• Define your Ideal Customer Profiles and segment-level fit

By the end, you’re no longer guessing at what’s next. You’re seeing it clearly — and so are we.

Activate (Weeks 4–7)

Here, we begin building. That includes the messaging, playbooks, tools, and workflows that turn insight into sales motion.

Depending on your maturity, we may:

• Rework outreach and conversion messaging across channels

• Design and implement CRM pipelines and reporting systems

• Draft and deploy sales enablement materials

• Build prospecting automation or lead generation flows

It’s the operational layer that transforms good ideas into scalable execution.

Access (Weeks 8–14)

Now we put everything to the test — live.

We leverage our networks, outreach capabilities, and partner channels to secure real meetings with decision-makers. Not just to pitch, but to listen. This is where you get proof-of-fit, feedback loops, and early traction.

By this point, most clients are:

• Having higher-quality sales conversations

• Hearing back from targets that were previously unresponsive

• Adjusting positioning in real time to reflect market signals

What we learn here shapes what we scale next.

Advance (Weeks 15–20)

In the final phase, we transfer knowledge, train your internal team, and ensure systems are ready to run without us.

This includes:

• Internal handoff of messaging, systems, and templates

• Training modules for sales reps or partner teams

• Optional retained support for expansion, verticalization, or capital raise readiness

Whether you want to grow regionally, expand partnerships, or gear up for your next raise—we make sure the engine is primed, proven, and fully in your hands.
